WORCESTER — A dumpster fire melted the siding of a business at 99 Green St. Monday evening.

District Fire Chief Frank DiLiddo said the fire did not extend inside the business, Thai Binh Jewelry, and only lightly scorched the side of the Lucky Dog Music Hall next door. The chief said the dumpster was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived.

The chief said the Fire Investigation Unit was called. Firefighters started leaving the area just after 7 p.m.
